GTA 6 Won’t Reach 40 FPS on PS5 Pro, But the Console Will Still Get Some Exclusive Features
With Grand Theft Auto 6 arriving next week, PlayStation 5 Pro owners finally have some answers about how the game will run on Sony’s more powerful console.
Alongside the release of a new trailer, Rockstar Games has shared new information about the upcoming title, including details about its PS5 Pro version.
One of the biggest questions surrounding GTA 6 has been whether the more powerful consoles will offer a higher frame rate, and we now have an answer.
Rockstar Reveals GTA 6 Performance on PS5 Pro and Cloud Gaming Details
In a post on its official blog, Rockstar has confirmed that GTA 6 will run at 30 FPS across all four consoles, including Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 5 Pro.
This might be disappointing for PS5 Pro owners, as many were expecting at least 40 FPS, with earlier reports suggesting that the game could reach this frame rate. However, PS5 Pro players will still get some technical improvements.
The game will fully support PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and offer an exclusive ray-traced shadow option that will not be available on the other consoles. GTA 6 also appears to support 3D audio on both PlayStation and Xbox, although Rockstar has only discussed the Sony version, reportedly because of its commercial agreements with Sony.
Rockstar’s latest announcement also appears to confirm an earlier rumor about cloud streaming support for the game. According to the information shared, Microsoft has secured an exclusive cloud gaming agreement, meaning GTA 6 will only be available through Xbox Cloud Gaming. This option will be limited to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles, with no support for PC or mobile devices.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the cloud version will run using the Xbox Series S version of the game rather than the more powerful Xbox Series X version.
Unless Rockstar announces any changes, PlayStation players with a PlayStation Plus Premium subscription will not be able to stream GTA 6 directly from the cloud. Those who own a PlayStation Portal will still be able to play through Remote Play, but this will require their PlayStation console to remain switched on and stream the game to the handheld device.
In other news, we remind you that pre-loads of GTA 6 are officially rolling out ahead of its global launch on November 19. In addition, the first leaked photos of the GTA 6 physical retail case have surfaced online.
